	That is an epic project! I also love the patina'd '62 Wagon he also 'throws together' halfway through the thread!

	Even for me thats too far gone! Best thing is to salvage as much from it and find another one , combining the best bits from both!

	Looks like there will be more of the parts car in the final shell than the original convertible - that's not to say he's not doing a fantastic job.

	I thank all that can be praised my GT6 racer is a smaller version of that.... the guy must be certifiable in the most excellent way. Pity - maybe me - but I didn't see the 'had to chop out all of this' shot anywhere...... must not have been anything left before the new/old metal went in. Kudos to him for getting through that. John edit - found the cill replacement shots - HOLY HECK

	That's a world of work. Makes me feel a bit bad that the cars I'm doing aren't getting anything like that amount of attention to detail.

	Blimey, that is one hell of an undertaking. hats off, makes me feel just a lot inferior the 356 is epic, that is just about the best one I've ever seen.
